TF-35000 is a multi-company, multi-team project. Although TEI has the lionshare, TRMotors' own design team is as big as the TEI team. Total employees that work on TF-35000 can't be compared to TF-6000/10000. The TRMotor team is very active on the design side of the engine together with the TEI...

There is nothing that can be confirmed by anyone as of now as the project is highly confidential but we can still speculate if we have a look at Tayfun project. Cenk project will be a long journey. There will be more variants compared to the Tayfun project. Range, speed, capability, and warhead...

The scaled version of the afterburner stage has all the functions of the full-scale afterburner stage. An afterburner is developed and produced for the first time by TEI, so TEI produced a scaled-down version as a proof of concept. Designing/verifying fuel injectors and aerodynamics of the...

TF-10000 update A scaled version of the afterburner stage is produced and tested. TF-10000 with a fully integrated afterburner will be tested in 2026. Early availability in 2027, serial production in 2028. TF-35000 Some early tests will be conducted in 2026, no other updates as of now.

Good find. Makes sense, Aselsan is taking the same direction.

The pod will be able to send data (video stream, targeting coordinates) to multiple receiver without using aircrafts own datalinks like Link 16, T-link, etc.

I can't because the Akbaba project is classified, but the information came from someone well-known who visited the test squadron and saw the Akbaba missile. I think this much info and hinting is enough for everyone.

Aselpod 2 is progressing smoothly. It will have an IRST function, multiple datalinks, and will have network capability.

Yes, I have. Rocketsan's solid fuel ramjet is fired from an F-16 in the scope of Akbaba project. Roketsan's solid fuel ramjet is like %90 ready. Gökbora will also progress fast both Akbaba and Gökbora use nearly the same engine. Tubitak needs some more time but not much.

Roketsan conducted the first-ever in-air ramjet firing (solid fuel ramjet similar to MBDA Meteor's ramjet engine). Tübitak is getting close to airborne tests with its liquid fuel ramjet engine.

This is what we are dealing with in Turkiye. High treason at the highest levels of the state.

There is no FCAS and there is also no French ACE.

Yes, I have. It doesn't matter what project owners declare; I have eyes and I can see clearly. Those fighters you mentioned don't have adaptive cycle engines; their geometry doesn't support wide-spectrum stealth. These two can't be added later on. Currently, only China and the US are developing...

Tempest and FCAS are not 6th gen. Russia should develop a proper 5th gen first.

Only the US and China will have real 6th gens. Other projects are more like 5.5th gen that can be achieved with KAAN project.

This guy is cooking Koreans over their remarks on Kaan project. He is listing major outsourced subsystems of KF-21. https://x.com/T_Nblty KF-21 looks worse than I first anticipated. They are not selling this aircraft to anyone the US doesn't want.

For Turkiye, Thorium molten salt reactors is a more realistic target than fusion reactors. Fusion research is insanely expensive and to this day no fusion power plant produces more electricity than it consumes. There are a few reactors that managed to slight net positive energy if we exclude...

Yes.

Nothing is surprising here. Erdoğan will sell Cyprus overnight if it means he can stay in power.
